Hog wire perimeter fence

[@rostamr4096]

I realliy like your way of build the panel and adjusting your post while installing them. Great for one person job and I will follow the same..thanks again, this is very helpful

[@rostamr4096]

You sure made this easy for me to build my fence. Thank you

[@barneslifegeorgiaedition9857]

Great to hear! Thanks for watching!

Very Nice Gary.

I was watching this wondering why you didn't just dado the 2x4's to lock the panel into, as that is what my plans were for a similar design, but I think using the cleats to lock in the panel gives it a little something extra. Looks great.

Thank you 2A I appreciate you watching, I started to dado all the two by fours but my dado blades were wearing out really fast and they’re pretty expensive so I decided to go with the cleats

Looks good sir

Nice!

Have any of the top rails sagged at all? I'm thinking of doing something similar but I was worried the 2x4 would sag over a long span like thay. Thank you for the info!

[@barneslifegeorgiaedition9857]

So far, the top rails haven’t sagged any, the hog wire is supporting them.

How sturdy are those panels? I'm thinking of building something like this for the dogs, I just dont want them to break the panel free.

[@barneslifegeorgiaedition9857]

Fairly sturdy, how aggressive and big are your dogs

[@isaiahl7727]

@@barneslifegeorgiaedition9857 they are both 45lb and only 2ft tall. One isn't aggressive at all, the other tries to rip any rabbit or bird it sees to shreds.

What was the rough cost to do this. I am loving this to make a fenced in area for my dogs

[@barneslifegeorgiaedition9857]

The cattle panels are now $25 each, and the lumber was constantly changing. With current prices and with the bag concrete, It would roughly be $80 per 8’ panel or $10/Linear foot. Cost was the reason I built the fence 2 panels at a time. Hope this helps you, Merry Christmas!

@@barneslifegeorgiaedition9857 thank you so much I really appreciate it. Def going to do this. It’s so nice and sleek looking

[@rostamr4096]

for those cleasts that are 3/4 inch in size, what size pilot hole did you use and what size screw? Thanks

[@barneslifegeorgiaedition9857]

The screws are No. 8, I just used a tapered countersink bit just a tad smaller than the screw.
